Little Bert makes it 2-1! I'm hoping he can become our Brendan Gallagher. That would be ace.

I agree Son of a Wing. I'm stoked to see what Sproul has been able to do this season, especially so far this post season. And it's not just the points he's putting up, he's looked very good in all three zones. Steady and poised in the defensive and neutral zones, and very dangerous in the offensive zone. As far as Mantha goes, and wanting him to score more goals... He's 6th in the league with 10 points, and has played a game less than anyone else above him. He's also tied for 10th in the league with 4 goals. 2nd to 9th are all tied with 5 goals, all playing one more game, with the exception of Josh Anderson. The number one spot goes to Bertuzzi with 7 goals in 8 games. Mantha has also been engaged in the play more than I've ever seen. He's forechecking and backchecking just as hard. I've really liked what I've seen from him so far in these playoffs, and he's getting rewarded with the points.

I'm probably most happy for Sproul. Hope he gets a fair shot next year.

Mantha - 10 points (4 goals, 6 assists), +8, 23 shots in 8 games. Bertuzzi - 8 points (7 goals, 1 assist), +9, 18 shots in 8 games. Athanasiou - 5 points (2 goals, 3 assists), +4, 8 shots in 5 games. Frk - 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists), +1, 8 shots in 4 games. Svechnikov - 1 point (assist), -1, 2 shots in 1 game. Sproul - 8 points (1 goal, 7 assists), +5, 25 shots in 8 games. Russo - 4 points (1 goal, 3 assists), +4, 4 shots in 8 games. Ouellet - 3 points (1 goal, 2 assists), +3, 12 shots in 8 games.

Bertuzzi with 3 goals, Athanasiou with a goal and 2 assists, Mantha with 2 assists, Svechnikov with an assist, Sproul with 3 assists and Russo with an assist and a fight. Future Red Wings. Gotta love it!

The kid is clutch Also nice to see Sproul racking up the apples

Bertuzzi hatty!!!

Bertuzzi knows how to elevate his game. Love it.

Bertuzzzzzzi!!° 2-1 Griffins! Kid is a gamer.

Anaheim has a couple RFA's and won't be able to afford either Vatenen or Lindholm. Would give a ton to get Lindholm he's going to be a #1.

What? That's crazy! That would be like moving a Griffs game to the Joe. Which actually might not be entirely bad considering the lack of hockey around Detroit in May.

Holland sucks tho. amirite?

The rightys are a-comin' hahaha

Svechnikov has looked great in his debut. Looked nervous early on, but has seemed to shake that off pretty quick and has made some nice plays since. Bertuzzzzzzi!!!!! What a beauty this kid is. Always seems to be in the right place at the right time...

Absolutely. That's why I figure We'll see Russo as the go to dman in GR next season. See if he can build upon this season as the go to guy before getting his shot with the Wings. Sproul will likely take a bit of time to adjust, which is why I think it would be great for him to start as the #7 and work on earning NHL minutes over time.

Athanasiouuuu!!! Breakaway goal. 3-1 Griffs!! If there's a team that can come back from being down 0-3, it's this Griffins team... especially now that Coreau has taken over the net.

Tie game!

1-0 Monsters...

He is garbage. Nerves of glass. The guy has never recovered from s***ting the bed at the World Juniors back in the day. I feel bad for the guy, but some folks just aren't cut out for it. He is like the Jimmy Howard of the AHL.
